but I'm definitely going to miss that when Orange Caligula gets sworn in, it's going to be nothing but bluff and bluster in front of the cameras every single day of the week from now on and if he misses a day, he'll make up for it with twitstorms at night.

it's pretty hard to get them to treat you with respect when they are bound to destroy you after being directed to treat you that way from their overlords.

Once a month, a 15 minute speech with no questions from the press, fuck up their scheduling, let the folks at home know what's really going on that the bobbleheads on the evening "news" would never tell them. Not long enough of a speech to make dumbasses antsy, just enough to annoy the bigwigs.

I do wish he hadn't been so forgiving during his term. I voted for him to do something to bring the W gang who couldn't shoot straight to justice. I was severely disappointed by that because it has brought us so much closer to where we are now... not a good place for any country.
